skyman typo'd...telus is slated for a JUNE 22 release (as stated in the link he provided, and other non-official sources), and with them being a Canadian company just like RIM its logical that they will get it before vzw , have faith and hold out for july 13th.

I just want to know if the difference can be noticed on a CDMA phone vs a GSM phone. And if a difference in speed is noticable, which one is faster?

Verizon has the biggest 3G network. ATT is is playing catch up. they are not that far behind. Now GSM being faster or CDMA that all depends on what the size of the pipe is at the cell site and how many users are on that cell site. I also feel that CDMA has a better voice quality than GSM and I think most will agree.

You really won't notice too much speed difference unless you're tethering or browsing the web. Also, switching and opening applications has nothing to do with network speeds. That's entirely the processing speed of the device itself.

As stated, the speed really depends on your location. The main difference between CDMA EVDO (3G) speeds and and GSM HSPDA (3G) is that the GSM counterpart can do simultaneous voice and date whereas CDMA cannot.
